Baking 101, Or Maybe Not

Yesterday was supposed to be an art class day but as I wrote a couple of days ago it instead became a work day. I had so much mail to open and piles of just crap I needed to go through after being absent for 3 days. I knew it was going to be a long day with a break in the middle to attend a luncheon with some of those art buddies. Finally leaving the office I had to go to the bank, the post office and finally the grocery store. Snicklefritz was going to spend the night so I needed to get food and stuff to bake. My plan was and is for her and I to bake today, mainly cookies and my famous fruitcake. Back and forth through the store I loaded up on flour, sugar, butter, and pecans, you know the usual baking stuff. BUT, when it came time to find the candied red cherries and candied pineapple I was up and down the aisles so many times I was getting angry trying to find said products. Finally I found someone to help me and she directed me to an end cap at the back of the store, at the top, a tiny little boxed area where there about 10 containers of citron (YUCK) and green cherries, obviously a hold over from what didn't sell last year. WHAT THE *****!!!! I was not happy and I told anyone who would listen to me. Totally messed up my plans to bake fruitcake with Snicklefritz. I DO NOT have time to go traipsing around town to different grocery stores looking for candied cherries and pineapple. Really REALLY made me mad. Then this morning I was awake at 4 AM...yes 4 AM! I thought I would look on Amazon, and guess what, Friday my candied cherries and pineapple will be delivered in time for her and I to make fruitcake as she is spending the night again! I am STOKED!

The downside this morning of me being awake at 4 am is that Snicklefritz is up at 5:37!

I am a mother, wife, friend, sister, partner in business (w/hubby), daughter, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, GRANDMOTHER, all of these things I am, I'm very happy with my life and would not change any of it.I'm an empty nester with a fabuluous hubby who I work with. We live in the midwest and have for our whole lives which is just fine with me. I love my home, my kids, my hubby, my life. Life has been good to me. Jill of all Trades comes from the problem I have. I can do numerous things really well but I'm not perfect and when I become bored with whatever I'm doing/working on I move on to the next project/task. I might be a little ADD or it could be the Gemini in me...whatever.... P.S. I am now counting myself an artist!
